The induction of polyploidy in plants represents a transformative approach in modern plant breeding, aimed at overcoming the genetic limitations inherent in many crop species. Polyploidisation, which ...

Annals of Botany, Vol. 121, No. 7 (June 2018), pp. 1287-1298 (12 pages) Background and Aims Alpine plants grow in harsh environments and are thought to face occasional frost during the sensitive ...

Plants with multiple sets of chromosomes, known as polyploids, are salt-tolerant or drought-resistant and often achieve higher yields. However, newly formed polyploid plants are often sterile or have ...

A research team has elucidated the role of polyploidy in the evolution and breeding of vegetable crops, leveraging advanced sequencing technologies to dissect the genetic and epigenetic nuances of ...

Polyploidy, or whole-genome duplication (WGD), is a major mechanism of genome evolution across the tree of life and is particularly prevalent in plants, where it facilitates the evolution of new ...
